OOBHS Boosters Need New Officers
The OOBHS Boosters are going to need people to help organize and run the club. The current officers are stepping down due to their children’s graduation this year. The current group has done a great job the last 4 years, and have given over $17,000.00 to OOBHS for various student/staff/school things, We would hate for this to come to an end. Please consider becoming an officer to lead our boosters!
New Websites
Our new RSU 23 Websites are up and running. Check out the pictures, videos, and all of the great information about our schools! Go to https://rsu23.org/. From there you can navigate to any of our school websites!
